i bikepacked solo from berlin to copenhagen in wind & storms over the last 6 days! i camped half of that time, including a scary night of high winds and downpours on the southern danish coast.

total distance: 551.7km

beautiful canyon gravel bike with front fork panniers, front bag, frame bag and ass rocket attached and fully packed with cold weather gear and camping gear hidden away.

Did a short 55km ride of my fully packed bikepacking setup today! it's in preparation of an upcoming solo trip from Berlin to Copenhagen 🚴‍♀️🌧️💨🍂

i have wondered the same for months! my building's elevator and courtyard even got tagged

jo, i love your look in your speaker photo! 🔥

also, i'm looking for a new job! i'm a senior fullstack engineer, previously working at GitHub on Issues & Projects, mainly working in Typescript, React, Ruby on Rails.

I prefer remote or hybrid in Berlin (or Iceland). I'm a friendly, empathetic and tenacious problem-solver.

my only favorite thing about the test sirens in berlin today is it activated my little wolf 🐺 arooooooooo

but it is the germanized version of it when i immediately see that it's made with béchamel sauce with muskatnuss, exactly like my german partner would make! 😅

thanks!

officially a dual passport holder now

i did it! i became a german citizen today!

i've been to Burning Man twice and i had meaningful experiences there. meeting so many older interesting folks triggered me to make big life changes by challenging me to think about how i want to be when im old.

Made some more fidgety tactile button (& a few dip switch) rings.

that's amazing! 🤩 congrats! this is also a goal of mine (but on a bike)

struggled with the venue wifi with my rpi4 today, decided just to stick to my phone's hotspot when i need to connect to it (luckily only need wifi for debugging)

i've done that ferry before! have fun in tallinn, it's lovely there. see you soon at the conf ✨

If you’ve sent me a text and I didn’t respond please know that I didn’t forget you, you’ll live on in my subconscious as a vague sense of dread forever

7 all black handmade rings with various tactile buttons

i made some tactile button rings tonight

worst part of being neurodivergent as afab for me? PMDD

at least after getting late diagnosed as adhd, i now know why every month my inner voice won't shut up trying to convince me to unlive myself, but still. this month's focus is on how i can't maintain long-term friendships. i hate this so much.

a week ago i completed my first bikepacking trip, 3 days/2 nights camping, ~300km along the Mosel River from the 🇩🇪🇱🇺🇫🇷 border to Koblenz! i did the first half of the trip solo!

i'm hooked now on slow travel & carrying everything i need on my bike 😍🚴‍♀️

Packed and ready for my first bikepacking trip (~300km) tomorrow. Will be solo for the first night of camping!

yep! i leased a gravel e-bike last year and it helped me build confidence with drop bars & clipless pedals & riding in general (~900km!). But sadly I am leaving my job soon & thus returning the expensive e-bike, so went ahead & bought a more affordable gravel bike.

Did a fun 32km gravel ride through the forest down to the Lahn & Rhein rivers yesterday. Preparing for my 1st bikepacking overnighter (200km+) this week.

Didn't know I was capable of doing this stuff without the aid of an e-bike, have surprised myself with my grit & capacity to power up hills.

Did a wunderschön 55km gravel bike loop today, including 2 ferry crossings over the Rhine River.

i signed up! can't wait! ✨❤️

sound art piece update: I finished wiring & mapping the 240 individual interactive plushy nodes.

touch is detected using 8 Bela trill craft boards & nodejs. currently working on the sound design in puredata.

will be bringing the project to @futurefrontend.bsky.social in Helsinki next month!

i hope you will post the webinar link before! (or instructions on how to watch it)! ❤️❤️

backside of a sewing project with many many plush nodes with wiring attached to the top ~90 nodes (one-third of the total) and into 3 trill craft boards

update: 90/240 touch points wired up (3/8 trill craft boards used)

such tedious manual labor 🫠

I submitted my application for german 🇩🇪 citizenship!!!! 🛂 🤞

same!!
